A Page and a Woot or 2!

The woots first, because I am so excited!!!!!

1. I ran 5 miles today -- yeah! I am working my way to 13mi on May 1. This is a milestone for me, since I haven't run that far since middle school. YIKES.
   
2. I made the Colorful Challenge Round up on the A Muse blog HERE (I am the first card in the round up) for the Brief Note card HERE.

Now on to the Scrapbook page. I know, I can't believe it either -- I finished a scrapbook page. It has been a while...sometime last year (who knows when though). I made this page during the Scrapbooking weekend with Marisa and Janie. I love this page because I used my Studio Calico kit and an old Heidi Swapp mask I had to have but never used. Plus, I have been collecting mists and have used them once. I need to justify future color purchases : )

Without Further Ado....

And a Close-up:

Photo Details: This is a picture of my niece at a local park this fall. I just love the look of determination on her face as she is rocking the horse back and forth. She moves so quick, I was lucky to get a photo of her in action.

Have a great night!

Supplies:
Paper: All Paper from Studio Calico Marketplace Kit
Ink: Cream Maya Mist
Stamps: None
Extras: Mask (Heidi Swap); Scallop and Circle Punches (SU!); Scallop Border Punch (EK Success); All other extras are from the Studio Calico Marketplace Kit

Messy Fingers = Fun

(I think I need to start using more lotion - those suckers are dry)

Messy also makes a cute card, if I do say so myself! This was a fun card...the messy ones always are. I started out with a mostly white paper with circles by MME, adhered a few butterfly masks by Heidi Swapp and spritz lightly with some Maya Mist. Then, I proceeded to mostly cover up the butterflies by layering some American Crafts crafts goodness with some MM stickers and stitching. After I adhered everything I took sandpaper to distress all of the additions to make them blend better with the misted background. I usually have a rough time with the collagey look, but this came together so easily. I am quite proud of myself : ) I am also excited to say, I used stuff from my scrap pile; the circle and scallop were from my scrap pile circa April 09. Thank you to Nicole at PTI for the inspiration for using scraps! Here is a close up of the collagey goodness.
